question

We have code running fine on Clover Kitkat / Jellybean devices which launches our app within the 'payment processed' broadcast intent under certain conditions. I am trying now on the Flex, and although the broadcast is received, when I call `startActivity()`, it does not launch and instead sits underneath the Sale app. I know it's underneath the Sale app waiting to be created because backing out of the Sale app does indeed create our activity.

After calling startActivity();, we get the following system log, and then nothing:
`I/Timeline: Timeline: Activity_launch_request id:com.example.package time:9886254`

Another thing to note is the app works perfectly if I am running in debug mode, so this is some kind of timing issue.

I can't see if there was some Platform change with Lollipop that is causing this or if the Sale app on the Flex is behaving differently to the other devices. (perhaps aggressively reordering itself to the front when a payment is processed). What would you recommend we do?

Here is the code that launches our app from the broadcast:

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
//...
Intent transactionIntent = new Intent(context, TransactionActivity.class);
transactionIntent.putExtra(Constants.Extras.EXTRA_CLOVER_ORDER_ID, orderId);
transactionIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
context.startActivity(transactionIntent);
}
